1. (1) The Wildlife Diversity Plan provides the program goal, objectives and strategies to identify and coordinate nongame wildlife management, research and status survey needs, and education and recreation needs related to Oregon’s wildlife. The document provides direction to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife in carrying out its mandated responsibilities. The plan is also intended as an informational document to be used in wildlife programs by public agencies and others concerned with the conservation of nongame and other fish and wildlife species. Only the policy portions of the Wildlife Diversity Plan are incorporated here by administrative rule, namely the Goal and Objectives.

2. (2) The remaining portions of the Plan — (Introduction, Strategies, Sub-strategies, Technical Information, Operational Schedule, and Priorities) are technical or related to agency management decisions. Accordingly, those parts may be updated by the commission outside the administrative rule process as new information is developed.
